As above, wondering how to disconnect the alarm before disconnect the battatry, and where is the negative on the battary?

There are two lines, which side is negative, left or right?

I have changed AFM, BOSCH fuel pump and O2 sensor, but still 300Km one tank, is it any possible with the spark plug or some other parts faulty? Thanks

the negetative is red colour.

may be when you install the alarm, you must have the key for back up battery. you disconnect the back up battery then your alarm is dead.

this is as far as i know..

the very easy but time consuming way you can do...

when you left your car at night turn the head lights on. then your battery will run out during the night. and do jump start next day with other car. that will reset your ECU. i was going to reset my ECU but i accidently left the car with lights on... and 3hours later my car dead. alarm did not working.. so i did jump start and realise that my ECU reseted....

anyway... there are many threads about reseting ECU.

im sure everyone will say "search!"

you better take your time and learn about your car before you ask something... i did ask without research and what i had for answer was "research" most of time.....

anyway good luck

The negative is not necessarily red. It is usually a single large cable; if you follow it, you should find the other end connected directly to the chassis.

But it really doesn't matter which terminal you disconnect.

As for the alarm, there should be a key to turn off the siren.

No. There should be a separate key that fits a "lock" in the back of the siren.

ricsvtr - when you disconnect the battery, the alarm goes onto its backup battery and sets off the siren. I guess it's a means of preventing thieves from simply disconnecting the battery to stop the alarm working.

what's the key looks like?

And where do I find the lock? Is it under the dashboard or at the back with the battery?

but did you install aftermarket alarm?

i think aftermarket alarm has backup battery. and the installer must give you a set of key to you when he/she installed on your car.

it look small round key. (its only for mongus) and the back up battery should located anywhere under the bonnet but mines is opposite side to where the battery is located. (also for R34 GTT i think R33's battery is located on the back)

you must disconnect the back up battery before disconnect the battery otherwise you will be going deaf....

anyway if you installed aftermarket alarm and dont have the key you better contact the guy who installed your alarm..

Yeah I know that the alarm goes on backup battery when you disconnect the main battery thats why you disarm the alarm/immobiliser first. If you disarm it first it wont set the alarm off when you disconnect the main battery. Well thats how my alarm (Autowatch) works anyway

disconnect the battery terminal from the battery in the boot... Just take off the negative, pump brake pedal few times and have the healights on etc... then connect battery back up and your on your way.

your aftermarket alarm is likely to have an earth tab somewhere underneith your bonnet which will allow you to completely bypass the alarm and immobilizer. So you wont need the key for the lock on the back of the siren.

you just gotta know where it is/find it.

Thanks dude, just reset the ECU and changed the NGK spark plug, could not find any different, hope is more fuel economy.

Who can tell me, how much petrol left when the fuel needle at the bottom line, cause I only filled 47L the tank is full, that mean's still has 18L left in the tank, is that right?

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
